My '91 200q does not have this warning, but the car may have been delivered
with VR tires. When I bought it, it had ZR tires on it, so this wouldn't
matter.

I remember writing this. I chuckled about it then, and again now--afterall,
a V rated tire can go beyond 130mph. It's just like the 130mph dash warning
a sticker in my folk's '92 100s--I don't know why since the car is
electronically limited to 130mph--Audi logic at work again?
